Yeah, the digits are already committed -- but just the simplest
possible "parsing" will disambiguate the desired meaning:
   45<newline>     go to [45]
   45<someCommand><newline>    do <someCommand> 45 times.

You just wait until the newline, and see what you have
got, and execute accordingly.

Of course, some cmds are "immediate", ie do not require a
<newline> to "finish" them, eg h, k, l, j.
